I am so sick and tired of these fundamentalist christian terrorists who have nothing better to do than tell everyone else how to live their lives. I suspect that they believe even God is too liberal and should be censured!

so I'm all for speaking up against slander, but this message smacks of propaganda in being as vague as it is...exactly what is being said? I do believe that homophobia saturates much of our nation, but I do not believe that there is such a thing as an "anti-gay industry." Please, will you stick with facts? Tell us what happened and let us interpret. Don't go all FoxNews on us.

If you don't believe in an "Anti gay industry" you aren't really living an LGBT life.
